Theres a lady whos sure all that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to Heaven
Theres a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, theres a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, makes me wonder
Ooh, makes me wonder
Theres a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonder
And its whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Oh-oh-oh-oh-woahhh
If theres a bustle in your hedgerow, dont be alarmed, now
Its just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
Theres still time to change the road youre on
And it makes me wonder
Ohh, woah
Your head is humming and it wont go, in case you dont know
The pipers calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
And shes buying a stairway to Heaven |
​
Ahh! Ahh!
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
Ahh! Ahh!
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
So now youd better stop
And rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ah, ah
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh |
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
With stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ooh, baby, I been flying
No yeah, mama, there aint no denying
Oh, ooh, yeah Ive been flying
Mama, mama, aint no denying, no denying
Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find, where Ive been
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Here is the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin through Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ooooh
Oh, when Im on, when Im on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when Im down
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, but Im down, so down
Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh..Come on, oh, let me take you there...let me take you there
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you there...let me take you there |
Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove
Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, I cant keep away
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, oh
I gotta roll, cant stand still
Got a flaming heart, cant get my fill
Eyes that shine, burning red
Dreams of you all through my head
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ahh
Hey baby, oh baby, pretty baby
Tell me would you do me now
Hey baby, oh baby, pretty baby
Move me while you groove me now
Take too long fore I found out

Started tellin her friend she gon be a star
I dont know, but Ive been told
A big-legged woman aint got no soul
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh, oh, oh
All I ask for, all I pray
Steady rollin woman gonna come my way
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
Wont tell me no lies, make me a happy man
Ah-ah, ah-ah

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank, all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to California with an aching, in my heart
Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers, in her hair
Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let em tell you that theyre all the same
The sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrow, could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose, and it started to flow
I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path runs straight and high
To find a queen without a king
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... La la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin to find a woman whos never, never, never been born
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams
Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems...
Ah, ah, ah, ah |
The leaves are falling all around, time I was on my way
Thanks to you, Im much obliged for such a pleasant stay
But now its time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and its headed my way
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know Ive got one thing I got to do
Ramble on, and nows the time, the time is now
To sing my song, Im going round the world, I gotta find my girl
On my way, Ive been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on, gotta find the queen of all my dreams
Got no time to for spreading roots
The time has come to be gone
And though Our health we drank a thousand times
Its time to ramble on
Ramble on, and now the time, the time is now
To sing my song, Im going round the world, I gotta find my girl
On my way, Ive been this way ten years to the day
I gotta ramble on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams
I tell you no lie
Mines a tale that cant be told, my freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air
Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her
Her, her, yeah
Ah, theres nothing I can do now
I guess Ill keep on
Ramblin, Im gonna shake
I gotta find my baby
Im gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gonna work my way, going round the world
Baby, baby
Do do do do do do do do, my baby
I cant stop this feeling in my heart
Every time I think about my baby I think we gots to part
Gotta keep on searching for my baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I gotta keep on searching for my baby
My, my, my, my, my, my, baby
I cant find my bluebird!
I listened to what my bluebird said, but I, I cant find my bluebird!
I keep rambling, baby |
Been dazed and confused for so long, its not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Lots of people talk and few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah
You hurt and abuse telling all of your lies
Run round, sweet baby, Lord, how they hypnotize
Sweet, little baby, I dont know where youve been
Gonna love you, baby, here I come again
If youre going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If youre going to San Francisco
Youre gonna meet a lot of gentle people there
Everyday, I work so hard bringing home my hard earned pay
Try to love you, baby, but you push me away
Dont know where youre going, only know just where youve been
Sweet little baby, I want you again
Been dazed and confused for so long, its not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Take it easy, baby, let them say what they will
Tongue wag so much when I send you the bill |
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me
Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by
My love is strong
With you there is no wrong
Together we shall go until we die, my, my, my
An inspiration is what you are to me
Inspiration - look, see
And so today, my world, it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
And thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the only one
Alright, yeah
Happiness, no more be sad
Happiness - Im glad
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me |
Babe, baby, baby, Im gonna leave you
I said, Baby, you know Im gonna leave you
Ill leave you when the summertime
Leave you when the summer comes a-rolling
Leave you when the summer comes along
Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, baby, baby
I wanna leave you
I aint joking woman, Ive got to ramble
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I believin
We really got to ramble
I can hear it calling me the way it used to do
I can hear it calling me back home
Babe, Im gonna leave you
Oh, baby, you know, Ive really got to leave you
Oh I can hear it calling me
I said dont you hear it calling me the way it used to do?
I know I know, I know
I never, never, never, never, never gonna leave you, babe
But I got to go away from this place
Ive got to quit you, yeah
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh, dont you hear it callin me?
Oh, woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day baby, its gonna really grow, yes it is
We gonna go walkin through the park every day
Come what may, every day, oh
My, my, my, my, my, my babe
Im gonna leave you, go away
Oh, I miss you, baby
It was really, really good
You made me happy every single day
But now Ive got to go away
Oh, oh, oh
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Thats when its calling me
I said thats when its calling me back home |
If it keeps on raining, levees going to break
If it keeps on raining, the levees going to break
When the levee breaks, well have no place to stay
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan, oh
Mean old levee, taught me to weep and moan
Its got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Ooh
Oh, dont it make you feel bad
When youre trying to find your way home
You dont know which way to go
If youre going down south, they got no work to do
If youre going north to Chicago
Ah, ah, ah, hey
Ay, yeah
Ay, yeah
Ay, yeah
Crying wont help you, praying wont do you no good
No, crying wont help you, praying wont do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move, ooh
All last night I sat on the levee and moaned
All last night, sat on the levee and moaned
Thinking about my baby and my happy home
Oh-ho
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
Oh, oh
Going
Im going to Chicago
Going to Chicago
Sorry, but I cant take you, ah
Going down, going down now
Going down, Im going down now
Going down, going down
Going down, going down
Oh
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going down now
Going down, going, dow- dow- dow- dow- down now
Ooh, ooh |
Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end
For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love to you, now
All of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love to you, now
The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud Arianne one word, my will to sustain
For me, the cloth once more to spin
Oh, all of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love for you now
All of my love, all of my love, yes
All of my love to you, child
Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind
Oh, all of my love, all of my love
Oh, all of my love to you, now
All of my love, oh yes
All of my love to you
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love!
Sometimes, sometimes
Hey hey hey hey, ooooh yeah
Its all all all
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love to you, now
All of my love, all of my love
All of my love to you, now
I get a little bit lonely
Just a little, just a little
Just a little bit lonely
Just a little bit lonely |
The Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Rest not to lock your homes
Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all
Oh-oh
I hear the horses thunder down in the valley below
Im waiting for the angels of Avalon
Waiting for the eastern glow
The apples of the valley hold the seeds of happiness
The ground is rich from tender care
Repay, do not forget, no, no
Dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The apples turn to brown and black
The tyrants face is red
Oh, war is the common cry
Pick up your swords and fly
The sky is filled with good and bad
Mortals never know, oh
Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow
Tired eyes on the sunrise
Waiting for the eastern glow
The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath
The drums will shake the castle wall
The ring wraiths ride in black, ride on
Sing as you raise your bow
Shoot straighter than before
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold
Oh dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back
Bring it back
At last the sun is shining
The clouds of blue roll by
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes!
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhh
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Oh now, oh now, oh now, oh
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it back, bring it back
Bring it back, bring it back
Oh now, oh now, oh now, oh
Oh now, oh now, oh now
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it |
Close the door, put out the light
You know they wont be home tonight
The snow falls hard and dont you know?
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
Theyre wearing steel thats bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step, ooh
The snow drives back the foot thats slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you, oh
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
Oh!
The pain, the pain without quarter, oh yeah!
They ask no quarter
They give no quarter
Oh |
Been working from seven
To eleven every night
Really makes life a drag
I dont think thats right
Ive really been the best, the best of fools
I did what I could, yeah
Cause I love you, baby, how I love you, darling
How I love you, baby, my beloved little girl, little girl
But baby, since Ive been loving you, yeah
Im about to lose my worried mind, oh yeah
Everybody trying to tell me
That you didnt mean me no good
Ive been trying, Lord, let me tell you
Let me tell you, I really did the best I could
Ive been, Ive been working from seven
To eleven every night
I said it kinda makes my life a drag, drag, drag, drag
Lord, yeah, that aint right, now, now
Since Ive been loving you, yeah
Im about to lose my worried mind
Watch out
I said Ive been crying, yeah
Oh, my tears they fell like rain
Dont you hear them, dont you hear them falling?
Dont you hear them, dont you hear them falling?
Do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
You didnt want me no more, yeah
I open my front door, I hear my back door slam
You know, I must have one of them newfangled
Newfangled back-door men
Ive been a-working from seven, seven, seven
To eleven, eleven every night
It kinda makes my life a drag, a drag, drag
Ah yeah! It makes it a drag
Baby, since Ive been loving you
Im about to lose, Im about to lose, lose my worried mind
Oh yeah
Just one more, just one more, ooh, yeah
Since Ive been loving you, Im gonna lose my worried mind |
It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth Ive felt before
It isnt hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low, oooh, oh
It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Aint so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh
Oh, oh
Ah, talk, talk, talk, talk
Hey!
Ive felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, upon us, upon us
But I know that I love you so, ohhhh, oh
But I know that I love you so
These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient quotient
Ah, upon us all, upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh yeah
Uhh, ooooh, yeah yeah yeah |
Hey lady, you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough
Oh darling, darling, darling; walk a while with me
Oh, youve got so much, so much, so much
Many have I loved, and many times been bitten
Many times Ive gazed along the open road
Many times Ive lied, and many times Ive listened
Many times Ive wondered how much there is to know
Many dreams come true, and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold
Mellow is the man who knows what hes been missing
Many, many men cant see the open road
Many is a word that only leaves you guessing
Guessing bout a thing you really ought to know, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Really ought to know
I really ought to know
Oh, you know I should, you know I should
You know I shouldve known |
Its been a long time since I rock and rolled
Its been a long time since I did the Stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from
Its been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Yes, it has
Its been a long time since The Book of Love
I cant count the tears of a life with no love
Carry me back, carry me back
Carry me back, baby, where I come from
Whoa, whoa, oh
Its been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Oh! Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight
Making vows that just cant work right
Oh yeah, open your arms, opens your arms
Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in!
Yeah!
Its been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Its been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time |
In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man
And now Ive reached that age, Ive tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam
Good times, bad times, you know Ive had my share
When my woman left home with a brown eyed man
But I still dont seem to care
Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days til she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end
But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oh
Good times, bad times, you know Ive had my share
When my woman left home for a brown eyed man
But I still dont seem to care
Good times, bad times, you know Ive had my share
When my woman left home for a brown eyed man
But I still dont seem to care
I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I dont care what the neighbours say
Im gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet babe, we aint ever gonna part |
Hey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know that Annies back in town
It wont take long, just watch and see
How the fellas lay their money down
Her style is new, but the face the same
As it was so long ago
But from her eyes, a different smile
Like that of one who knows
Well, its been ten years or maybe more
Since I first set eyes on you
The best years of my life gone by
Here I am alone and blue
Some people cry and some people die
By the wicked ways of love
But Ill just keep on rolling along
With the grace of the Lord above
People talking all around
About the way you left me flat
I dont care what the people say
I know where their jive is at
One thing I do have on my mind
If you can clarify, please do
Its the way you call me by another guys name
When I try to make love to you, yeah
I try to make love but it aint no use
Give it to me, give it
Work so hard I couldnt unwind
Get some money saved
Abuse my love a thousand times
However hard I tried
Heartbreaker; your time has come
Cant take your evil way
Go away, Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker!
Heartbreaker!
Heart! |
EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY
GEORGE R.R. MARTIN!
VERSUS!
J.R.R. TOLKIEN!
BEGIN!
Brace yourself!
Gather up your trolls and your soldier Elves!
And your Ents and your Orcs and your Wargs and your Stings
Your Dwarves and Glamdrings
Cause theres a new literary Lord in the Ring!
My readers fall in love with every character Ive written
Then I kill em Theyre like No! He didnt!
All your bad guys die, and your good guys survive!
We can tell whats gonna happen by page and age five!
Tell your all-seeing eye to find some sex in your movies
Ditch the Goonie, and cast a couple boobies!
There’s edgier plots in that David the Gnome
Your Hobbit-hole heroes can’t handle my throne
Kings, queens, dragons, dwarves
Horses, fortresses, magic and swords
You Hob-bit my whole shit, you uninspired hack
You want a war, George? Welcome to Shire-raq!
In book sales you’ve got nothing to say
I’m number one and two, you’re under Fifty Shades of Grey
I’ve got the prose of a pro, your shit’s subpar
You’re a pirate, you even stole my R.R.
Oh, we all know the world is full of chance and anarchy
So yes, it’s true-to-life for characters to die randomly
But news flash, the genre’s called fantasy
It’s meant to be unrealistic, you myopic manatee
I conscientiously object to what you’re doing on these beats
I’ll cut you like my teeth on Beauty and the Beast
You went too deep, Professor Tweed Pants
We don’t need the backstory on every fucking tree branch
I cut my teeth in the trenches of the Somme
You LARPed your Santa Claus ass through Vietnam
And it’s hard for me to take criticism on clothes
From a dude who sends a raven to say Hi to his toes
Man, your fat jokes are worse than your pipe smoke
My show’s the hottest thing on H-B-O!
I’m rock and roll, you’re a nerdy little nebbish
And I may be dirty, but you got a hairy foot fetish, dawg
Even the names of your characters suck
You got Boffers and Bofurs and Brandybucks
I got a second breakfast for all them goofy fucks
Lift up my gut and tea-Baggins my nuts
C. S. Lewis and I were just discussing
How you and Jon Snow... both know nothing!
Because the backstory of my box office is billions
Got my children making millions off my Silmarillions
And I’m more rock and roll than you’ve ever been
Don’t believe me? Ask Led Zeppelin
You can’t reach this Fellow, shit, I’m Two Towering
Every time I battle, it’s Return of the King
WHO WON?
WHO’S NEXT?
YOU DECIDE!
EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY! |
It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing
When we at last return again
Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss
The devils in his hole
Oh to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Into the sun, the south, the north
At last the birds have flown
Shackles of commitments fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh, to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah
To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
To guide us from the curving path
That turns our feet to stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head, with heavy feet, yeah
Oooooh, yeah
Days went by when you and I
Bathed in eternal summers glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual child did grow
Oh, the sweet refrain
Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains
Sleeping now to rise again
Wandering and wandering
What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
For the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
From the earth, earth
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
Oh oh oh oh
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
Ah, ah, ah |
Then, as it was, then again it will be
And though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Flying skies of fortune, each a separate way
On the wings of maybe, downing birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to go
But as the eagle leaves the nest, got so far to go
Changes fill my time, baby, thats alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be
Did you ever really need somebody
And really need em bad?
Did you ever really want somebody
The best love you ever had?
Do you ever remember me, baby?
Did it feel so good?
Cause it was just the first time
And you knew you would
Through the eyes and I sparkle, senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didnt have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul
Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought Id see your face the way it used to be
Oh darling, oh darling
Oh, oh darling, oh yeah, oh darling
Im never going to leave you
Im never going to leave
Holding on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holding on, ten years gone
Im never, Im never
Oooh, yeah... |
One, two
One, two, three, four
One, two
Measuring a summers day
I only find it slips away to grey
The hours they bring me pain
Tangerine, tangerine
Living reflection from a dream
I was her love, she was my queen
And now a thousand years in between
Thinking how it used to be
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again
And I do
Tangerine, tangerine
Living reflection from a dream
I was her love, she was my queen
And now a thousand years in between |
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You dont have to go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You dont have to go, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You dont have to go
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
All those tears I cry, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
All those tears I cry, oh, oh, oh, ay, ay
Baby, please dont go
When I read the letter you wrote me, it made me mad, mad, mad
When I read the words that it told me, it made me sad, sad, sad
But I still love you so, I cant let you go
I love you, ooh, baby, I love you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Every breath I take oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, every move I make
Oh, baby, please dont go, oh
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
You hurt me to my soul, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You hurt me to my soul, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Darling, please dont go
When I read the letter you sent me, it made me mad, mad, mad
When I read the news that it broke, it made me sad, sad, sad
But I still love you so, and I cant let you go
I love you, ooh baby, I love you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You dont have to go, oh, oh, oh, oh
You dont have to go, oh, oh, oh, oh

And if I say to you tomorrow
Take my hand, child, come with me
Its to a castle I will take you
Where whats to be, they say will be
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
But the wind wont blow, you really shouldnt go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine, by taking our time
And if you say to me tomorrow
Oh what fun it all would be
Then whats to stop us, pretty baby
But what is and what should never be?
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
But the wind wont blow, you really shouldnt go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine, by taking our time
So if you wake up with the sunrise
And all your dreams are still as new
And happiness is what you need so bad, girl
The answer lies with you
Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today
Way up high in the sky
But the wind wont blow, you really shouldnt go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine, by taking our time
Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldnt go
And it only goes to show
Catch the wind, were going to see it spin, were going to...sail, leave today
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh. My my my my my my yeah
Everybody I know seems to know me well
But theyre never going to know that I move like hell
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby. Oh lord
Baby baby babe. Huh? Oh I love ya

In my time of dying

So I can die easy
Jesus got to make up
You know

Somebody, somebody

Cough
Thats going to be the one isnt it?
Come have a listen then
Oh yes, thank you |
Weve done four already but now were steady
And then they went: One, two, three, four
Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bags, my foots outside the door
I got a date, I cant be late, for the high hopes hailla ball
Oh ho
Oh yeah
Singing to an ocean, I can hear the oceans roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more!
Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way?
I dont know
Oh-oh yeah
Na nana na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na nana na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na nana na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na nana na na na na na na na na na na na na
Sitting round singing songs until the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
Now Im singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and its a real fine way to start
Oh yeah
It sure is fine
I blow my mind
When the tears are going down
Yeah, yeah
Oh, so good! |
I should have quit you, a long time ago
Ohh, yeahhh, long time ago
I wouldnt be here, my children
Down on this killing floor
I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
Oh, I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
Everytime I go away and leave you, darling
You send me the blues way down the line
Baby, yeah

Keep me satisfied
Tryin worry bout me, baby but Id never get you with myself

Oh, such a long time ago, oh

Down on this killing floor
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, oh
Im going to leave my children down on this killing floor |
Walking in the park just the other day, baby
What do you, what do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sitting on the grass with flowers in their hair said
Hey, boy, do you wanna score?
And you know how it is?
I really dont know what time it was
Woah, oh, oh
So I asked them if I could stay a while
I didnt notice but it had got very dark and I was really
Really out of my mind
Just then a policeman stepped up to me
And asked us said please, hey, would we care
To all get in line, get in line
Well, you know, they asked us to stay for tea and have some fun
Oh, oh, oh
He said that his friends would all drop by, ooh
Why dont you take a good look at yourself
And describe what you see?
And baby, baby, baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rusting
Ah! Not trying to fight it
You really dont care if theyre coming?
Oh, oh, oh
I know that its all a state of mind, ooh
If you go down in the streets
Today, baby you better
You better open your eyes
Folk down there really dont care
Really dont care, dont care, really dont
Which, which way the pressure lies
So Ive decided what Im going to do now
So Im packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now
Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh
I really dont know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I really dont know, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I really dont know |
Oh, baby
Well. theres a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that cant wait for the night
I hate to think Ive been blinded, baby
Why cant I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burning
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And Im shaking so much, really yearning
Why dont you show up, make it all right?
Yeah, its all right
And if you promised youd love so completely
And you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me, baby
What ever happened to you?
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true
It ain’t the first time believe me, baby
Im standing here feeling blue
Yeah Im blue
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
Ill watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then Im turning around
The clock on the walls moving slower
My heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Oh, that I found
Hey, babe!
Ooh! Hands on the clock
Just don’t seem to stop when I’m thinking it over
Ooh! Tired of the light
I just don’t seem to find
Gotta get away, get away
Ooh! I see it in my dreams
But I just don’t seem to be
I’ve got to get all, gotta get it all
Gotta get it all, I’ve got to get it all
Now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet
Ive got no reason to doubt you, baby
Its all a terrible mess
And Ill run in the rain till Im breathless
When Im breathless Ill run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fools kind of careless
Im just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I
Light of the love that I found
Light of the, hey, eh, light of the, hey, eh
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found |
Ah, caught you smiling at me
Thats the way it should be
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine
Ah, all the good times we had
I sang love songs so glad
Always smiling, never sad, so fine
As we walk down the country lanes
Ill be singing a song, hear me calling your name
Hear the wind within the trees
Telling Mother Nature bout you and me
Well, if the sun shines so bright
Or on our way its darkest night
The road we choose is always right, so fine
Ah, can your love be so strong
When so many loves go wrong
Will our love go on and on and on and on and on?
As we walk down the country lanes
Ill be singing a song, hear me calling your name
Hear the wind within the trees
Telling Mother Nature bout you and me
My, my
La la la
Come on now, it aint too far
Tell your friends all around the world
Aint no companion like a blue eyed Merle
Come on now, well, let me tell you
What youre missing, messin round them brick walls
So of one thing I am sure
Its a friendship so pure
Angels singing all around my door, so fine
Yeah, aint but one thing to do
Spend my natural life with you
Youre the finest dog I knew, so fine
When youre old and your eyes are dim
There aint no old Shep gonna happen again
Well still go walking down country lanes
Ill sing the same old song, hear me call your name |
Want to tell you about the girl I love
My, she looks so fine
Shes the only one that I been dreaming of
Maybe someday she will be all mine
I want to tell her that I love her so
I thrill with her every touch
I need to tell her shes the only one I really love
I got a woman, want to ball all day
I got a woman, she wont be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said, I got a little woman, and she wont be true
On Sunday morning, when we go down to church
See the menfolk standing in line
Say they come to pray to the Lord
When my little girl looks so fine
In the evening, when the sun is sinking low
Everybodys with the one they love
I walk the town
Keep a-searching all around
Looking for my street corner girl
I got a woman, want to ball all day, yeah
I got a woman, she wont be true, no, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said, I got a little woman, and she wont be true
In the bars, with the men who play guitars
Singing, drinking, and remembering the times
My little lover does a midnight shift
She followed around all of the time
I guess theres just one thing a-left for me to do
Going to pack my bags and move on my way
Cause I got a worried mind
Sharing what I thought was mine
Going to leave her where the guitars play
I got a woman, she wont be true, no, no
I got a woman, want to ball all day, yeah, yeah, naw, naw
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time

And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
But all that lives is born to die
And so I say to you that nothing really matters
And all you do is stand and cry
I dont know what to say about it
When all you ears have turned away
But nows the time to look and look again at what you see

Thats the way
Thats the way it ought-ta be
Oh, dont you know now, mama said

Ive been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to rock it, sometimes Id roll it
I always knew what it was for
There can be no denying
That the windll shake em down
And the flat worlds flying
Theres a new plague on the land
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
Traversed the planet, when heaven sent me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rested rivers call
And the wind is crying
From a love that wont grow cold
My lover, she is lying
On the dark side of the globe
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me rocking when I ought to be a-rolling
Darling, tell me, darling, which way to go
You keep me rocking, baby, then you keep me stalling
Wont you tell me, darling, which way to go, thats right
Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
Of all this wonder, of earthly plunder
Will it leave us anything to show?
And our time is flying
See the candle burning low
Is the new world rising
From the shambles of the old?
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just, if we could just, if we could just
If we could just, if we could just join hands
Thats all it takes, thats all it takes

I said its alright, you know its alright

Sipping booze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow
You know its alright, I said its alright
You know its all in my heart
Youll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Dig
You told your mama Id get you home

With a tadpole in a jar
You know its alright
I said its alright
I guess its all in my heart, heart, heart, heart
Youll be my only
My one and only
Is that the way it should start?
So dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow

You know its alright
You know its all in my heart
Youll be my only, yes

Down by the seaside
See the boats go sailing
Can the people hear
Oh, what the little fish are saying?
Oh oooh
The people turned away, oh
The people turned away
Down in the city streets
See all the folk go racing, racing
No time left, oh no
To pass the time of day
Hey, hey, yeah
The people turned away
The people turned away
So far away, so far away
See how they run, see how they run
See how they run, see how they run...
Do you still do the twist?
Do you find you remember things that well?
I wanna tell you
Some go twisting every day
Though sometimes its awful hard to tell
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, ohh
Out in the country
Hear the people singing
Singing about their growin
Knowing where theyre goin
Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, the people turned away, yeah
Oh, the people turned away
Sing loud for the sunshine
Pray hard for the rain
And show your love for Lady Nature
And she will come back again
Yeah, yes, she will
Oh, the people turned away
The people turned away |
Her face is cracked from smiling
All the fears that shes been hiding
And it seems pretty soon everybodys gonna know
And her voice is sore from shouting
Cheering winners who are losing
And she worries if their days are few
And soon theyll have to go
My, my, my, Im so happy
Im gonna join the band
We gonna dance and sing in celebration
We are in the promised land
She hears them talk of new ways
To protect the home she lives in
Then she wonders what its all about
When they break down the door
Her name is Brown or White or Black
You know her very well
You hear her cries of mercy
As the winners toll the bell
My, my, my, Im so happy
Im gonna join the band
We gonna sing and dance in celebration
We are the promised land
There is a train that leaves the station
Heading for your destination
But the price you pay to nowhere
Has increased a dollar more. Yes, it has!
And if you walk youre gonna get there
Though it takes a little longer
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands and moan, oh, yeah
If you walk youre gonna get there
Though it takes a little longer
And when you see it in the distance
You will wring your hands |
I wanna tell you about my good thing
I aint disclosing no names, but
He sure is a good friend, and
I aint gonna tell you where he comes from, boy
If I tell you, you wont come again, hey
I aint gonna tell you nothing, but I do will, but I know, yeah!
Now let me tell you about my girl
I open up a newspaper and what do I see?
Ah, ah

Ooh, and when she walks, she walks
Let me tell you, when she talks, she talks
And when she looks me in my eye
Shes my baby, Lord, I wanna make her mine, baby
Ooh, tell me baby what you want me to do!

Shes the kind of lover that makes me feel the whole world, and
Shes the one who really makes me jump and shout, oh!
Shes the kind of girl, I know what its all about!
Take it on
Take it, take it, take it
Ah, excuse me
Oh, will you excuse me?
Im just trying to find the bridge!
Has anybody seen the bridge?
Please!
I aint seen the bridge! |
As I walk down the highway
All I do is sing a song
And a train thats passin my way
Helps the rhythm move along
There is no doubt about the words are clear
The voice is strong, its oh so strong
Im just a simple guy
I live from day to day
A ray of sunshine melts my frown
And blows my blues away
Theres nothing more that I can say
But on a day like today I pass the time away
And walk a quiet mile with you
All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all your love
All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all your love
Oooh yeah, oooh yeah
Oooh yeah, oooh yeah
Im so glad Im living
Gonna tell the world I am
I got me a fine woman
And she says that Im her man
One thing that I know for sure
Gonna give her all the loving
Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can
Standing in the noonday sun
Trying to flag a ride
People go and people come
See my rider right by my side
Its a total disgrace, they set the pace
It must be a race and the best thing I can do is run
All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all your love
All I need from you is all your love
All you got to give to me is all your love
Oooh yeah, oooh yeah
Oooh yeah, oooh yeah

All I do is say lets keep on
Gonna keep on movin on
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah |
Silent woman in the night, you came
Took my seed from my shaking frame
Same old fire, another flame
And the wheel rolls on
Silent woman through the flames, you come
From the deep behind the sun
Seems my nightmares, my loving gun
Left me barely holding on, oh
With blazing eyes you see my trembling hand
When we know the time has come
Lose my senses, lose command
Feel your healing rivers run
Is it every time I fall
That I think this is the one?
Ooh, in the darkness can you hear me call?
Another day has just begun
Another day, yeah
Ooooh
Silent woman, my face is changed
Some know in ways to come
Feel my fire needs a brand new flame
And the wheel rolls on, rolls on
Rolls on, rolls on, babe, oooooooh |
You said I was the only
With my lemon in your hand
Exhibition is your habit
Emotion second hand
Had to pull away to save me
Maybe next time around
And she said, dont you want it?
Dont you want cocaine, cocaine, cocaine?
Hadnt planned to, could not stand to
Try it, fry it, na na na na yeah
Heard a cry for mercy
In the city of the damned
Oh, oh, babe, damned
Down in the pits you go no lower
The next stops underground
Oh, hello underground
Wine and roses aint quite over
Fate deals a losing hand
And I said, didnt mean to
Did not mean to f-fail
You didnt plan it, you over-ran it
You want do it, you want to
You want do it when you want to
You want do it, do it when you want to
When you blow it, babe
You got to blow it right
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama
Baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
Please fake it right for yourself, babe
When you fake it, baby
Youre faking it for your life, for your life
For your life, for your life
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna
Oh, I can have you, baby
But I dont know what to do, yeah
Sometime, baby, nothing I could do
On the balance of a crystal
Paying through the nose
And when they couldnt resist you
I thought youd go with the flow
And now your stage is empty
Bring down the curtain, baby please
Fold up your show
Hadnt planned to
Could not stand to fry in it
Hadnt planned it
I over-ran it, frying
For your life, for your life |
From the window of your rented limousine
I caught your pretty blue eyes
One day soon youre gonna reach sixteen
Painted lady in the city of lies
Oh, do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know Im the one you want, babe
I must be the one you need, yeah
Clutching pages from your teenage dream
In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise
Through the circus of the L.A. queens
How fast you learn the downhill slide
Oh, how you like my face?
Still dont know your name
You know Im the one you want, babe, ooh yes
I must be the one you need, yeah
Oh, you got me feeling...
Just a bit, just a bit
Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen
Come on, flash it, flash it in my eyes
Said you dug me since you were thirteen
Then you giggle as you heave and sigh
Oh, do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
Baby, I gotta tell you, Im the one you want
And everybody know Im the one you need, yeah
Oh, give it to me, come on now
Come on now
Come on now
Hours, hours, and the moments in between
Oh, baby, I couldnt count the times
The fun of coming, oh, the pain in leaving
Baby, dry those silver eyes
Oh, do you know my name?
Do I look the same?
You know Im the one you want, ooh yes
Im the one you need, yeah
Ooh, thats right
Ooh, yeah, thats right
Ooh, thats right
Thats right
Thats right
Ooh yeah, thats right
Thats right
Aahh |
How come twenty four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh, twenty four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days, yeah?
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh, baby, when I feel this way
Sitting, looking at the clock
Oh, time moves so slow
Ive been watchin for the hands to move
Until I just cant look no more
How come twenty four hours
Baby, sometimes seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime
Baby, when I feel this way
To sing a song for you
I recall you used to say
Oh baby this ones for we two
Which in the end is you anyway
How come twenty four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh, baby, when I feel this way
There was a time that I stood tall
In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you woman
And now I cant get back again
How come twenty-four hours
Sometimes seem to slip into days?
Well, well, well a minute seems like a lifetime
Baby, when I feel this way
A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh, baby, when I feel this way
I feel this way |
In the evening
When the day is done
Im looking for a woman
But the girl dont come
So dont let her
Play you for a fool
She dont show no pity baby
She dont make no rules
Oh, oh, I need your love
I need your love
Oh, I need your love
I just got to have
So dont you let her
Oh, get under your skin
Its only bad luck and trouble
From the day that you begin
I hear you crying in the darkness
Dont ask nobodys help
Aint no pockets full of mercy baby
Because you can only blame yourself
Oh, oh, I need your love
I need your love
Oh, I need your love
I got to have
Oh its simple
All the pain that you go through
You can turn away from fortune, fortune
Because thats all thats left to you
Its lonely at the bottom
Man, its dizzy at the top
But if youre standing in the middle
Aint no way youre gonna stop
Oh, oh, I need your love
Oh, oh, I need your love
Oh, oh, I need your love
I got to have
Oh whatever
That your days may bring
No use hiding in a corner
Because that wont change a thing
If youre dancing in the doldrums
One day soon, its got to stop, its got to stop
When youre the master of the off-chance
When you dont expect a lot
Oh, oh, I need your love
I need your love
Oh, I need your love
I got to have, I got to have
I got to have your love
I got to have
Babe, I got to have your love

I received a message from my brother across the water
He sat laughing as he wrote, The ends in sight
So I said goodbye to all my friends
And packed my hopes inside a matchbox
Because I know its time to fly
Oh, yeah, come on, meet me in the morning
Meet me in the middle of the night
Ah, yeah, the morning light is coming
Dont it make you wanna go and feel alright?
Ooh yeah, ah hah
I just jumped a train that never stops
So now somehow I know Ill never finish paying for my ride
Someone pushed a gun into my hand
Tell me Im the type of man
To fight the fight without inquiring
Oh, yeah-ha come on, meet me in the morning
Wont you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night, yeah?
Oh, well, the morning light is coming
Dont it make you wanna go and feel alright?
Oh, mama, well, I think its time Im leaving
Nothing here to make me stay
Whoa, mama, well, it must be time Im going
Theyre knocking down them doors
Theyre trying to take me away
Please, Mr. Brakeman, wont you ring your bell
And ring it loud and clear?
Please, Mr. Fireman, wont you ring your bell?
Tell the people they got to fly away from here
Ohh, I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby
Southern lady, had a very, very special smile
We are in the middle of a change in destination
When the train stops, all together we will smile
Oh, come on, come on now, meet me in the morning
Wont you meet me in the middle of the night, night, n-n-night?
Oh, oh yeah, everybody know the morning time is coming
Dont it make you wanna feel alright? Ah, ah, yeah
Make me feel alright
Fly now, baby
Get to fly, yeah
Fly now, baby
Oooh, hey hey
Uh, uh, uh, uh |
Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace
Await their place within the ring of calm
Still stand to turn in seconds of release
Await the call they know may never come
In times of brightness, no intruder dared upon
To jeopardize the course, upset the run
And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun
As love in the halls of plenty overrun
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast
Unending dances shadowed on the day
Within the wall, their daunting formless keep
Preserved their joy that kept their doubts at bay
Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep
Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray
And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed
But no one seemed to question in anyway
Ah, ah, ah, ah
How keen the storied hunters eye prevails upon the land
To seek the unsuspecting and the weak
And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand
Toward the foe that threatened from the deep
Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand
Adrift upon a sea of futile speech?
And to fall to fate and make the status plan
But no one there had heaven within their reach
I said yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Where was your word, where did you go?
Where was your helping, where was your bow, bow?
Dull is the armour, cold is the day
Hard was the journey, dark was the way, way
I heard the word, I couldnt stay, oh
I couldnt stand it another day, another day
Another day, another day
Touched by the timely coming
Roused from the keepers sleep
Release the grip
Throw down the key
Held now within the knowing
Rest now within the peace
Take of the fruit
But guard the seed
They had to stay!
Held now within the knowing
Rest now within the beat
Take of the fruit
But guard the seed
Take of the fruit
But guard the seed |
Oh, hot dog!
Well I just got into town today
To find my girl whos gone away
She took the Greyhound at the General Store
I searched myself I searched the town
When I finally did sit down
I find myself no wiser than before
She said we couldnt do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And Ill never go to Texas anymore
Now my babys gone I dont know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
Im going to give her something like she never had before
I took her love at seventeen
A little late these days it seems
But they said heaven is well worth waiting for
I took her word I took it all
Beneath the sign that said U-Haul
She left angels hanging round for more
Now my babys gone I dont know what to do
She took my love and walked right out the door
And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure
Im going to give her something like she never had before
I thought I had it all sewn up
Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck
But folks said she was after something more
I never did quite understand
All that talk about rocking bands
But they just rolled my doll right out the door
Oh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door
Why, well, they just rolled my doll right out the door! |

I was burned in the heat of the moment
Though it couldnt been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted
Tear fell as I turned away
Now Ive got friends who will give me their shoulder
When I should happen to fall
Time and his bride growing older
Ive got friends who will give me fuck all
Lalala, yeah
Lalala, my baby
Lalala, yeah
Lalala
Corner of Bleecker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey
So looked round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise hed melted away
Lalala, yeah
Lalala, my baby
Lalala, yeah
Lalala
As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my souls sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay
I dont ask that my fields full of clover
I dont moan at opportunitys door
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your storyd be your finest reward
Lalala, yeah
Lalala, my baby
Lalala, yeah
Lalala, now do it
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise
Now everythings fine under heaven
Now and then youve got to take time to pause
When youre down on the ground, dont be messing around
Or youll land in a boat without oars
Lalala, yeah
Lalala, my baby
Lalala, yeah
Lalala
Hey babe, hey babe, hey babe
I lost my way
Hey babe, hey babe
I really really do now
Hey babe, hey babe
I dont know where Im going to find it
Hey babe, hey babe
Do you want to know
Do you really, really, want to help me, yeah?
Let me tell you now, babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right
Now my babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right
Now my babe
Let me tell you
That it feels so, feels so, feels so good |
One time love, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick, be careful how you choose it
Sometimes its hard to feel it bite
Feel it bite
A man I know went down to Louisiana
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John Cameron with Suzanna
He kissed the whiskers, left and right
Whiskers
Now, now, now, fright subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter
Our friends check in to pass the night
Now love gets hot, but fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set that room alight
Whiskers
Down on Bourbon street, you know its right
You can see my friend
They run around all through the night
Most everywhere
Until the closets bare
Run for the razor burn
Doin up my hair
New Orleans queens
Sure know how to schmooze it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When I step out
Strut down with my sugar
Shed best not talk like Barry White!
One time love, take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick, be careful how you choose it
Sometimes its hard to feel it bite
Feel it bite |
Baby, when you walk that sweet walk
Oh, you walk it good, yes you walk it good
Baby, when you talk that sweet talk
It sounds so good, oh so good
With a little bit of concentration
And a little bit of helping hands, yeah
And a little bit of raving madness
You know it makes me feel, baby
Both my feet are back on the ground
And when the rhythm takes me
It feels so good, oh so good
Baby, if it keeps a-shaking
It will do you good, oh so much good
With a little bit of stop-a-shaking, shaking
And a little bit of fly right down
Woo, just a little bit of sweet con-carne
It makes me feel, makes me feel
I got my feet on the ground
Ooh, now baby, when you move it makes me
Really feel so good, oh so good
And Im so glad, so glad, so glad, so glad

Heres a tale of Tom
Who worked the railroads long
His wife would cook his meal
As he would change the wheel
Poor Tom, seventh son
Always knew what was going on
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom
Worked for thirty years
Sharing hopes and fears
Dreaming of the day
He could turn and say
Poor Tom, work is done
Been lazing out in the noonday sun
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom
His wife was Annie Mae
With any man a game she would play
When Tom was out of town
She couldnt keep her dresses down
Poor Tom, seventh son
Always knew what was going on
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom
And so it was one day
People got to Annie Mae
Tom stood, a gun in his hand
And stopped her running around
Poor Tom, seventh son
Gotta die for what you have done
All those years of work are thrown away
To ease your mind is that all you can say?
But what about that grandson on your knee?
Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom
Aint nothing that you can hide from Tom

I think this is a song of hope
Theres a lady whos sure all that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there, she knows if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Oohoohooh oohoohoohoohooh
And shes buying a stairway to heaven
Theres a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook theres a songbird that sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
And I think you can see that
Ohh
And it makes me wonder, sure does
Oh hoh hoh, hohooh ohoohohooh, yes sir
Theres a feelin I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ah hah. Ah hah
Ah hah. Ah hah. Ahhhahhohoohohooh
And its whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Does anybody remember laughter?
Baby! Oh, baby look...
Just give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Sure does, sure does
But I got some good news, listen...
If theres a bustle in your hedgerow, dont be alarmed now
Its just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
Theres still time to change the road youre on
I hope so
Oohh! Baby, baby, baby
Ya, darlin babe
Ya, darlin babe
Ya, darlin babe
Wait a minute...
Your head is hummin and it wont go in case ya dont know
The pipers callin you to join him
Dear Lady, can you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whisperin wind?
Ohh hah hahhahhh
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold, yeah
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll, not to roll
And shes buying a stairway to heaven
Ahhahhhhohhahhoh |
There was a time, I used to call you on my very own
We were so happy woman, Talking for hours and hours on the telephone
Then one day, I set you up to walk right out of my life
Leaving me all by myself, All alone, to cry every night
oooh, I want you to come back home yeah
Sweet little girl
Been away so long
Now listen to me: I said I made up my mind
Woman when you left me there, oh
I was going to find another sweet lover
Who is going to feel all of my... cares
So I met a sweet little girl, Just about as nice as she could be, oh
I fell in love with that woman, But she turned around
And did the same thing again to me
Baby, please come home home yeah
I know, been away so long
I want you to please come home, oh
So I made up my mind, I going to crawl right back to you woman
I am going to plead and plead and plead, yeah, Till you are here by my side
I cannot even walk down the same old streets we used to walk down
Because I keep thinking about all the good times
Keep thinking about it, I want to make you mine
Babe, babe, babe, please |

Our only goal will be the western shore

The Lyrics dataset parsed from Genius. This dataset is designed to generate lyrics with HuggingArtists. Model is available here.
en
How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/led-zeppelin")
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}
The data fields are the same among all splits.
text
: a string
feature.train | validation | test |
---|---|---|
263 | - | - |
'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/led-zeppelin")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
)
